Monday, 1
st July 2013: Social media site Pixwoo
has its eyes set firmly on the UK following the launch of its iOS
and Android clients.

Pixwoo’s aim is simple: to offer games players the world
over a free platform upon which they can discuss games and their
creators, without the constant begging for Cityville credits or
seeing black and white pictures of what people have had for
lunch.

The network enjoyed a successful soft launch last year, but is
now ramping up activity as it seeks to build an audience of games
players eager to socialise and share.

Pixwoo allows players to construct their own personal network of
friends, colleagues and industry legends. New friends can be
discovered through shared interests in specific games, platforms or
even genres – from casual to hardcore, from retro to
next-gen, every aspect of gaming is covered.

“Pixwoo has been designed very much as a complementary
social network – one which opens up the world of gaming to
the entire world,” says Pascal Vielhescaze, Founder, Pixwoo.
“By providing a place for users to socialise in and around
the world of gaming, we’re able to provide a warm and
welcoming community with passion and enthusiasm for the best
entertainment medium in the world – without worrying about
alienating anyone.

“At the moment, players can subscribe to videos on one
network, follow pages on another and maybe interact with others on
a forum. Our aim is to bring those communities under one roof,
offering the best place on the internet to interact with games.
Publishers and developers can talk directly to their audiences.
Journalists can cross-promote their news stories, offering a larger
audience. And consumers can discover so much more about their
favourite pastime, discussing, discovering and sharing their
passion.”

“Users can sign up with an email address or by using their
Facebook or Twitter credentials. Once in, they will find the world
of gaming at their fingertips. Following our soft launch last year,
we’re delighted to welcome new Pixwooers from France and the
UK – and we’re excited about seeing the community
grow.”
